    caliotter3 replied to YKA's topic in General Students

    Nobody here can speak for the state of CA. You have to deal with them and see what they say. Some Filipino nurses who graduated from the same program in the same year, have found that the CA Board...

    caliotter3 replied to MamaZan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most, if not all, CA community colleges usually do not allow retakes in which a previous grade of C was earned. However, I recently read that the state has instituted a change that all 115 CA...

    Which courses do I include to fulfill the Chemistry prerequisite for CSU nursing programs in California?

    caliotter3 replied to 2bnursebunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why did you have to call 911 and not the staff member on duty? If the staff is that incompetent or unreliable, perhaps this ship has sunk. After all, it is the staff, on a day to day basis, that makes...

    Next clinical, take the bull by the horns. Immediately ask your preceptor for OK to do assessment yourself while she observes. She can critique you during and/or after. Same with everything else,...

    OMG, I cannot believe what I did. What I should do now!

    caliotter3 replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell the charge nurse that in the heat of the moment, you lost your cool and didn’t tell the truth. Also say that you will make sure the next time she tells you to wait for her to supervise,...
